Original subtitles

I haven't had a day off in ages, so why am I doing this?

Because your darling girlfriend is going to work,

and it's your duty to accompany her.

Is my darling girlfriend also ordering me to pick her up after work?

Of course, yeah!

You said you'd protect me.

That's what you said.

Of course I'll protect you. That's exactly what I'm doing.

It's just that spending all this time looking out for you, well, I mean it's…

Look at those guys over there. They never stop. Unbelievable.

Don't get involved. Ignore them.

Kids these days can be pretty scary, you know.

Better watch out! Just saying.

A world where adults are afraid of children

is a world that is nearing its end.

I'm a teacher. That's my job.

- We'll handle him. - Don't fucking touch him.

- We'll show him. - Pussies like you?

- Tell me where he is. - At home.

I'll show you!

In any case…

- You're full of shit. - You said you'll protect me, right?

Talk, no action!

Yes, ma'am. I'll protect you, ma'am.

Go give 'em hell, soldier!

Sir, yes, sir!

Dismissed.

Hey, guys.

Hey! Listen up, guys. There's no smoking here.

What school do you attend?

was a very courageous teacher.

She went out of her way to help the accused, Cho Gyu-cheol.

He wasn't your ordinary troubled teen.

He was involved in extortion and multiple acts of violence against other students.

He terrorized his fellow classmates, but was also feared by the school's teachers.

Despite Miss Choi's efforts,

Cho Gyu-cheol committed an unforgivable and heinous crime against his teacher.

anything to say before I pass sentence?

Yes, I have.

Your Honor, I was in love with my teacher, Ms. Ga-yun.

- Did you hear that? - Yeah.

Based on the evidence presented to the court,

and taking into consideration the young age of the accused

and his troubled family history,

the court sentences Cho Gyu-cheol to a maximum of four years in state prison.

Let me go. Let me take care of him.

Get inside.

this will bring her back?

It wasn't your fault.

Don't beat yourself up about it.

There's no need for remorse.

Don't look for the easy way out. Think about what's the right thing to do.

Ga-yun always said that if adults were afraid of children,

it was the end of the world.

Think about that.

Think about what we can do about it.

Soon, I'll become the Minister for Education.

I'll create the Educational Rights Protection Bureau.

This way,

I'll honor the memory of my daughter, Ga-yun.

Call me

if it becomes unbearable for you.

TEACH YOU A LESSON

EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS PROTECTION BUREAU

- Good morning, everyone. - Good morning, sir.

Good morning, Bong.

Morning, sir.

ACTION PLAN

Sir, some water for you.

Bong, don't forget. Me too.

- What school's next? - Oh, yeah, well…

We found this one.

A teacher sexually assaulted a female student.

After the incident, the teacher resigned and immediately took his own life.

It says here that the case is closed.

Yeah, but all they had was the female student's version,

and the case was closed by the court of public opinion

before there was a full inquiry.

-What do you mean? -Did you prepare it?

Yes, sir. The story first appeared and began to get traction on social media.

It went viral when followers and influencers

started tagging the video across multiple platforms.

Uh, what I mean is, a single tag can have a significant impact on public opinion,

in the same way as comments on the internet.

Opinion turned against the teacher and he became the target.

Yeah, I get that.

That's right. You got it.

Yeah, he became the target. He knows that.

That led people to make additional videos

and, in turn, generated complaints against the school.

Social media today has become, um,

the single most important source of fear for school teachers.

Where did the first video come from?

It appeared on Han Ye-ri's social media.

I've pulled up her profile.

As of today, she has over 600,000 followers,

which means that, at any given moment,

as many as 600,000 could be screening her content.

Good morning! Ye-ri here!

Ta-da!

Look around. Isn't my school beautiful?

On days like today with the sun shining, it's so much prettier.

And that makes me feel so good too. Just like you. Right guys?

-Hey! -Hi!

- Hey, guys! - You're so pretty!

This is my best friend, So-yeong.

You can follow So-yeong on her Snstar account.

My account handle is "sssoozero."

You can look up "Sso-yeong." Please follow me!

Follow her, guys! She's so pretty, right?

Look! Isn't that the guy from The Next Boys?

He sent me a friend request!

- Are you serious? - Look!

Hey, friends, if you're watching this, don't forget to leave a comment, okay?

Our class has already started, okay?

What have I told you before about phones in the classroom?

Hey there. Our Ye-ri has to study now. All of you, back to study!

All right, I have to confiscate this.

Hang on, Miss. She was in the middle of a live stream.

People will be harsh on her if you take it down.

What time is it, So-yeong? Study time. Huh?

Put that English book away. Everyone, math books only.

- Are you okay? - So, what page were we on?

Page 12, ma'am.

- Ms. Jung? - Yeah.

By any chance, have you seen Ye-ri's Snstar profile today?

Her Snstar profile? No. Why are you asking?

What? Why does it look like that?

Oh, So-yeong came to me because she had chewing gum in her hair

and she asked me to cut it out for her.

It seems to me that they have edited the footage.

Don't you remember what happened last year? With Ms. Hwang?

She was having a few drinks with her friends from college,

and they posted a video, made it look like she was picking up guys in a bar.

They leaked her address and it destroyed her.

She confiscated Ye-ri's phone and she paid the price.

Ms. Jung.

Don't worry. I'll talk to Ye-ri.

I'm her homeroom teacher, so I'll talk with her.

Thanks. I'd appreciate that.

COUNSELING OFFICE

Ms. Jung thinks there's been a misunderstanding.

I recorded and posted exactly what I saw.

In that case, just upload it with the original sound.

That would clear up everything up.

Are you implying that I had removed the sound intentionally?

Well, the fact is,

I was there when you did it.

Cut the audio track here.

Now edit the beginning and the end of the video.

Now we add some sad music in the background

and it changes everything.

That's so cool. Really good.

I was so pissed with her. She deserves it.

I don't understand what you have against your teachers.

You weren't like that when you were younger.

I read all your middle school reports.

You were a good student.

You got on well with all your teachers.

I'll think about it.

Guys, my homeroom teacher…

He sexually assaulted me.

I DEBATED WHETHER TO POST THIS

I don't know what to do.

UNWANTED TOUCHING

THAT SOB I'LL STOP BY

TRASH TEACHER DOX HIM

GET THAT BASTARD AN ANKLE TAG

JUST DIE, FUCKING BASTARD

MOTHERFUCKER! FIRE HIM!

What the hell?

JUST DIE

CALL YOURSELF HUMAN?

Soyeon Girls' High School. How can I help you?

Yes, we take your comments…

-We understand. -Sorry?

I cannot comment.

- Yes, I understand. - First, we need to clarify things.

Excuse me, sir, would you happen to be Ye-ri's homeroom teacher?

Yeah. Who are you?

Hey, you guys! I found him! This dude is Han Ye-ri's homeroom teacher.

Is it true that you sexually assaulted Ye-ri?

Sir, you have to leave.

Don't touch me, lady! Are you some kind of perv?

You get excited by school uniforms? We want answers!

-I'll call the police. -Call the police!

- Get out of my way! - Stop that! Be careful!

WIFE

I… I understand.

We just can't respond at this moment.

Is it true? It can't be.

Honey, please answer your phone.

HERE'S HIS ADDRESS

Darling, where are you?

There's a bunch of strangers outside our house.

I'm really worried, honey. I'm scared.

HIS KIDS SHOULD SUFFER THE SAME FATE

I BET HE ACTS LOVING AT HOME

LET'S STORM HIS PLACE NOW

I'VE FOUND OUT WHERE HIS DAMN KIDS GO TO SCHOOL

PUT AN ANKLE TAG ON HIM

GO TO HELL

FUCK YOU

- Hurry! Somebody help him! - Open the door. Mr. Ko!

The door is locked!

Oh my God! Mr. Ko! It can't be happening!

DYING WON'T SOLVE ANYTHING GO TO HELL, YEONG-SU

DEPRAVED TEACHER SCHOOLS ARE SCARY

Ye-ri!

Listen. You have to put up a new video right now.

How could you do this?

We all know that Mr. Ko would never hurt anyone.

Are you saying that I'm a liar?

That I'm the kind of person who

pretends I was sexually assaulted?

That it was just to get back at a teacher?

Mr. Ko, my homeroom teacher…

…he put his hands on me.

He put his hands under my…

Are you saying…

…that I should just forget about it? Just pretend it never happened?

Okay…

…if that's what you want.

Hey, everyone…

I'm really sorry…

I have to stop.

I have to stop streaming. I can't continue right now.

I'm sorry. I have to stop streaming.

Ye-ri, with all that has already happened with Mr. Ko,

it has put our entire school in an extremely difficult position.

Do you think there is any way that you could clear things up with Ms. Jung?

If you could help smooth things over,

the school will do everything in its power to…

to help support you.

I'm not sure it'll help. But I'll do everything I can.

But in return,

for my services, might I ask you for a favor?

My name is Ms. Jung, and I am taking over from Mr. Ko as your homeroom teacher

Let's get started, shall we?

It's time for attendance.

- Kang Da-yeon. - Present.

- Kang Min-seo. - Here.

Kwon Na-yeong. Kim Da-jeong.

our homeroom teacher to mess with you?

She's seriously scary.

she took the job.

She doesn't want to be our teacher.

Maybe we can switch classes?

Park Seo-yeong.

-Park Su-jin. -Here.

Park Ji-hye.

Park Chae-won.

And it's all thanks to you.

Thank you so much, Miss.

So, as you've noticed,

Ye-ri is a pretty famous and recognizable influencer.

Things might get out of hand.

If we get involved, it would mean a lot more work for us.

No need to worry about that.

Minister Choi promised to take full responsibility for all of this.

Sure, but, um, Ye-ri has more than 600,000 followers.

You brat!

Do it!

Don't hesitate.

600 or 6 million, I don't care. We have to do what's right!

Exactly. Let's do it! Deputy Bong, get ready.

Sir, may I ask what role I'll be playing this time?

It's obvious, Bong. I need you to go undercover in a girls' high school.

What?

But, sir, you can't be serious?

Ah!

Mm!

Deputy Bong, stop fantasizing and get to work!

Sir, do you really want me to dress up as a girl?

And what if I did? Get that out of your head!

You'll provide backup to Inspector Na.

I want you both to get started as soon as possible.

Actually, it won't be me this time.

You're the only inspector we have. Who else is gonna do it?

I have a new recruit.

She's the perfect fit for this new case.

Let's just see how she does and we can discuss later.

Look! It's the drawing I did of Ye-ri. It looks like her.

Ugh! What is that? You think I look like a cat? Is that it?

You gotta be kidding me.

Class, I'd like to introduce you to Ms. Im Han-rim,

the new teacher in training who'll be with us for a while.

Please, introduce yourself.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone. My name is Im Han-rim.

I'm a trainee teacher and I cover math.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all.

Depending how you behave in my class,

I can be either a guardian angel or your worst nightmare!

Quiet down, everyone.

Let's take attendance.

Kang Da-yeon.

That's enough, Stop it okay? You're annoying me.

Kim Ji-su. Kim Ji-su?

- laughs] - Seriously, they don't.

Kim Ji-su. Park Seo-yeong.

Guys, I just learned that Soyeon Girls' High School

is looking for models to show off our uniform.

It's such a pretty uniform. You'll love it.

That doesn't look like me at all. It's all wrong.

It's because I'm always recording on my left side.

If I put it on my other side… You see?

- Hey, Miss? - Yes?

I meant the newbie.

Yes. What can I do for you?

Tell me, do you have a boyfriend?

I don't. Not yet.

But why not? I mean, you're so pretty.

Look at you.

-Your plastic surgery's good. -Whoa!

You must have spent a lot of money on that operation.

By chance, do you have a before-and-after photo we can see?

Hey, come on, I know you guys are curious to know, yeah?

Show photo! Show photo! Show photo! Show photo! Show photo!

You're right. I have had some plastic surgery done.

These babies were too big.

I used to do a lot of martial arts,

and they got in my way.

-I needed more room to swing. -Oh.

And even though I've only been in this class a short while,

I see none of you have that problem.

Does that answer your question, So-yeong?

Well, in that case, that will be all.

Who does she think she is?

Let's get back to our lesson, all right?

But before we begin class,

I think it will be better if I collect all your cellphones.

So, everyone, hand over all your cellphones.

- Lost her mind! - What does that mean?

You mean it's a new trend?

Well, you guys know I'm not really up to date on new trends.

That's why I don't post Shorts.

Excuse me, Han Ye-ri. I must insist that you hand over your phone.

Sorry, but I'm in the middle of a live stream.

It's because you're new here and you haven't heard.

The school principal has authorized it.

I won't ask you a second time.

Give me your phone.

Hand it over now.

Okay, then.

Why don't you tell all of my fans yourself? Go.

You're live right now.

Yes!

Whoa!

She scared the shit out of me!

Miss, are you crazy? What's wrong with you?

The only crazy people here are the students.

This school is in far worse condition than I had anticipated.

To begin, first, let me clarify a few things.

If any student tries to put themselves above the authority of the teachers,

if students disrespect, trivialize or mock the teachers,

from this day forward,

these individuals will be considered in violation of the law.

I am perfectly willing to be challenged.

However, you must accept to face your punishment.

Hey, newbie,

aren't you overreacting a little?

I think it's time I reintroduce myself, then.

My name is Han-rim,

I am part of the new Educational Rights Protection Bureau,

under the control of the Ministry of Education!

I will not hesitate to crush all violations of school rules and behavior

that impedes the rights of students to a peaceful education

here at Soyeon Girls' High School.

I will dedicate my time to removing the bad apples.

To ensure a proper learning environment,

the first step is to confiscate all your phones.

I want to see all cell phones in that box immediately!

I hope you have handed in all your phones.

And not just some fake old phone that you use to fool your teachers.

I'll give you three more seconds to turn them in.

PHONE POSSESSION WARNING

♪ Listen, learn, listen, learn ♪

to the following special announcement

from the Educational Rights Protection Bureau.

Firstly…

…Soyeon Girls' High School now falls under the authority of the ERPB.

Secondly,

there are absolutely no limitations to the ERPB's methods of instruction.

Thirdly, staff and students

must follow the inspector's orders at all times.

Finally, in the event of insubordination,

the Bureau will not be held liable for any disadvantages suffered.

TEACHERS' MAIN OFFICE

I'm here from the ERPB.

This makes no sense!

Silence!

"In the event of insubordination,

we will not be held liable for any disadvantages incurred."

Did you understand?

Everyone outside now.

I said now!

the information sheet I've provided.

Let me know if you've been falsely accused of something by some of the students.

Maybe you've criticized their behavior,

and subsequently found yourself targeted by them in retaliation.

Some of you may be aware of personal information being leaked online.

And now this information is being used by students

to defame teachers on social media.

Maybe you ignored it.

Maybe you're afraid of your own students,

and you feel you're all alone and have no other choice.

Whatever it may be,

write it all down.

I presume I can interpret your silence

to mean that you will gladly hand over full control to the Bureau?

I'm sorry. No, that's not what we mean.

It means we have absolutely no problems at our school.

A world where adults are afraid of children

is a world that's nearing its end.

And if that was the case, wouldn't it be even harder on you as teachers?

TEACHERS' RIGHTS VIOLATIONS SURVEY

In any case,

don't overthink this.

It's really not that hard.

Even if you think of something later on,

feel free to communicate with Inspector Im Han-rim or with me.

You know the drill. On your backs and get those legs up now!

Yes, Miss!

On second thought, it might be better if you hand them in to me.

Six.

Seven.

Eight!

- Hey! - Nine.

Heads off the ground! Now!

One.

SNACK BAR

Afternoon, sir!

Wow! Look at you!

-At ease. -Reporting for duty, sir!

Special Task Force Reserve Sergeant First Class Im Han-rim.

New assignment with the Educational Rights Protection Bureau.

At your service, sir!

There' s no need to salute. We're both civilians. Relax. At ease.

Sir! Yes, sir!

At ease!

Look at you! That disguise you have is awesome. You look great in that outfit.

You're embarrassing me, sir.

So, Han-rim, have you met your teammate yet?

Come here. Let me introduce you to Deputy Director Bong Geun-dae.

- But we call him Deputy Bong. - Okay.

Deputy! He not just any deputy.

He graduated top of his class from KAIST, the Advanced Technology University.

-Ooh, that's amazing. -Oh.

I served in the same combat unit as Hwa-jin.

Happy to meet you, Deputy Bong.

Yeah.

Bong Geun-dae. Nice to meet you.

What's going on? What is it?

What's up now?

Domination upon first encounter, sir.

Good job letting her win, Bong. She's a bit of a lunatic. Hm?

Oh.

Whoa. Whoa!

Oh. Ah. Ah.

-Sir, so, when are you going to tell me? -Tell you what?

When I accepted the position, you told me that you'd tell me why you hired me.

I just told you. You're a lunatic.

That's all it was? I'm a lunatic?

Okay.

First question.

Kids today are crazy and smart and they're defying social traditions.

-So, what can we do? -We fight crazy with crazy.

It's the only way, sir.

That's right. And you've come to the right place to be crazy!

Oh, sir, I like that.

I'm the best at crazy!

There's one rule.

You have to follow it, no matter what.

You cannot kill anyone. Hm?

And if you ever feel like killing someone,

then you write the character for patience in the palm of your hand.

- You write it down three times. - Understood, sir.

Okay.

Show me how you write patience. Is it like this?

That's the character for "kindness."

I guess you're still learning.

Deputy Bong, show her, will you?

Show her how to write "patience." He can teach you.

- Me? - Yeah.

Write it for me.

Uh, let's see.

Take your sword and cut your heart with it.

That's the way I was taught to remember the character.

Take out the sword and cut the heart.

Cut the heart of your enemies!

Thank you so much, Deputy Bong.

Get to it, then.

I will do my best as ever, sir!

-No more salutes. -Sir, yes, sir!

I like your bow.

Son of a… Sh…

Deputy.

Yes, I'm Deputy Director Bong.

Do you know the most dangerous place in a girls' high school, Deputy?

No.

You're standing in it.

It's the concession stand.

Huh? What's so dangerous about this place? What?

You'll learn. You will learn.

SNACK BAR

Hey! Slow down! Take it easy. Take your time.

Oh!

Please, no. Whoa!

Stop! You just can't take them and start eating.

Ladies! Girls, stop. You have to pay. Stay where you are! Hey!

Okay. Excuse me.

-What's going on? Where are you going? -Class is over, Miss.

But you still have homeroom class.

-We don't do that, okay? -And you don't clean up either?

We were told not to do it by Ms. Jung.

She said she'd clean up herself.

Mm. Didn't you, Miss?

Yes, well,

you see, it's, uh…

Didn't you pay attention to the Bureau's regulations?

Disobeying an inspector might just get you killed.

Let me go!

All classes shall be cleaned by the students who use them.

Class, everyone shall participate in the clean-up.

Today's lesson is "arriving home late for dinner"

Late for dinner?

Okay, let's move the desks and chairs to the wall.

To the wall!

So, from now on, you'll clean the floors until they shine like a mirror.

Ms. Im, do you really think this is the right thing to do?

Some of the parents could get really upset.

AFTER THE KO YEONG-SU INCIDENT, SHE BECAME OUR TEACHER TO TORMENT US

AND NOW SHE HAS CALLED ON THE ERPB

WE'RE ALL BEING FRAMED, INCLUDING POOR YE-RI

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

Rise and shine!

Good evening, sir!

Good evening, sir.

I already told you to stop saluting me, okay? We're civilians now

-Understood, sir. -Right, then. Did you finish it?

Yes, sir.

Anything to report, Bong?

- Actually, my hand hurts. - I've got something important.

Uh, I think Ms. Jung is afraid of the students.

She even seems worried that our methods might backfire.

I'll meet with her tomorrow.

In the meantime, I need you to do something.

Check the social media accounts of the students

and see if you find any malicious comments about the teachers.

-You're asking me, sir? -Is that a problem?

-Sir, no, sir! -All right, then get to it.

My hand?

Best of luck.

Deputy Bong?

Deputy Director Bong?

Yeah?

Based on my experience, for work to be done efficiently,

it requires a clearly defined hierarchy.

Sure. No need to come any closer.

What I mean is that we need a chain of command. Don't we?

-Right. -So, what grade are you, then?

-Grade? -Public Service.

Right. Well, I'm Grade Five.

I'm Grade One.

Which means that I'm older and higher ranking than you,

so you should follow my orders.

I want you to check the social media accounts of the students.

All of the students.

Sure. Right now?

I want it by the end of the day.

How come you only made Grade Five?

I bet you haven't done military service yet.

Let me know when you've finished the report.

Excuse me, Ms. Jung. May I speak to the class for a moment?

Do you know what this is?

These are all the photos you have illegally taken, edited and posted

to make malicious comments about your teachers on social media.

These documents constitute proof that you are spreading misinformation online.

It is considered a criminal offense, defined by law as defamation.

From this day forward,

the ERPB will arrest and punish any and all offenders that we find.

Excuse me, Miss,

but by going through our social media accounts,

aren't you violating our civil rights?

She's right. It's an invasion of our privacy.

I wonder if the ERPB has the authority to do that?

If you are interested in the legal foundations of the ERPB,

then I invite you all to visit our website.

Look under "Introduction," then under "Jurisdiction," then "Legal Purview,"

and you can familiarize yourself with Article B

that outlines and defines the scope of the activities of the Bureau

and its employees.

Moving on, when I call your name,

please make your way outside right now!

Keep moving and stay in line. Say it!

Forward… march!

Yes, ma'am. Forward march!

My legs hurt.

So, who the hell called the Bureau?

It's pretty obvious.

The teachers must have snitched to have the Bureau side with them.

I don't think that's it at all.

What does that mean?

It's the only reason for them to come. What else could it be?

It might be because of Mr. Ko's suicide.

I mean, we all know he wasn't the kind of guy to do that.

Anyways, no one saw what happened.

Did you see anything? Did anyone see what he did to Ye-ri?

What are you guys talking about?

Are you talking about me?

We were talking about the Bureau. Wondering when they'll be gone.

This is hard for all of us. They'll be gone soon enough.

Don't worry about it.

-Hm. -Shall we go?

- Yeah, let's go. - Let's go.

-It's gonna be fun. Come on. Trust me. -Oh, uh…

GUESS WHO LIVES HERE?

ISN'T THAT YE-RI'S HOMEROOM TEACHER BACK THERE?

THIS IS SURYEON VILLA NEAR MY PLACE!

Hey give that back!

RÉSUMÉ NAME: JUNG SEON-YEONG

You're really thinking of quitting?

Well, these days, there's just so much we have to do at school.

Administrative work, career guidance.

Yeah.

I was thinking of doing private lessons at the academy. Focus on teaching.

To be honest, I'm really surprised. Remember when we were in college?

We all bet on who would become a principal, yeah?

And it was always you who won, Seon-yeong.

Yeah. I remember.

You see, I want to just try and enjoy my life.

Uh…

Seon-yeong, you know, a lot of students from your school attend this academy.

We heard about what happened.

And academies like ours are just like regular schools.

Life is not going to be easier. You'll get through this. Don't worry.

And if later on you still feel the same way,

come back and see me then.

Mm.

Hm.

Good afternoon.

-Excuse me, Miss. -Hm?

I was reviewing my math exam. May I ask you a question, please?

Uh, y… yeah.

Here, question 18. I really don't understand why the answer is three.

Oh, yeah, let me see.

You can only solve this problem once you have defined the combination.

Here, you have 50 choose k

which is equal to 50 factorial over k factorial

multiplied by 50 minus k factorial,

multiplied by 51 over k plus one, which gives you

the answer, which is number three.

I had no idea how to figure it out. Thank you, Miss.

You made it look so easy. I should have come to see you sooner.

-Thank you, Ms. Jung. -Sure.

One more thing, Miss.

If I find that I have other problems I can't solve,

would you mind if I came to see you again?

Of course, yes.

Thank you so much.

Hm. Good afternoon.

All right then, during the last class we learned about…

Conditional probability.

Ooh!

Yeah.

We will use conditional probability to solve the following problem.

If we choose only natural numbers that are multiples of two,

from the series one to twelve, then P would be…

Six over twelve!

Correct.

- The right answer is six over twelve. - Yes.

And P is?

Four over twelve.

And P , intersect B is?

Two over twelve.

Shall we try to solve the next question with the same method?

Yes, Miss.

- Anyone like to try it? - Kang Min-seo.

Jin Sang-hui!

Min-seo? Would you like to take a shot at it?

- Go on. - Come up to the blackboard.

Miss?

Thank you. Today's class was amazing. I had a lot of fun.

Ms. Jung, you were incredible.

-Good job! -Awesome!

Ms. Jung?

Don't let yourself be fooled by them.

Ye-ri is manipulative. She may be toying with you.

I recommend that you keep your guard up.

I know what she's like.

It's hard to tell. Maybe it's a lie, maybe it's sincere.

But at least it's a positive change, right?

I'm just very thankful

that you and the ERPB got involved.

You've been so helpful.

Miss, hello.

Oh, Ye- ri. What are you doing here?

I know you're thinking, why am I being so nice to you?

To be honest, I've wanted to get to know you better for a while now.

But I had a feeling you didn't like me,

so I really didn't know where to begin to clear things up with you.

I'm sorry I took so long.

Please forgive me.

So if we want to start off all over again, how about

we do a live stream?

Like, both of us?

I thought it would be a good idea to show people we're on good terms.

It would be a good opportunity for you to dispel the rumors about you.

STUDY PLAN

YEAR 3, CLASS 4, HAN YE-RI

At the same time, during the live stream you could maybe talk about the ERPB.

Why?

Well, you see all of us are having a hard time with them.

The other students want my help.

Can you imagine just how much everyone would like you if you did?

- Good afternoon. - Oh!

Ms. Jung, have you ever skipped class before?

What?

Wh… why would I skip class?

Look at them. They're so joyful and innocent, aren't they?

It makes you wonder how could they become such monsters?

Sir, what is it you wanted to talk to me about?

Ms. Jung, how long are you gonna let them get away with this?

Don't you think it's time to stop it?

ALL THE DOGS FORUM

SCHOOLS THESE DAYS… OMG

Have you seen this?

Ye-ri posted a picture of me.

I reported her, and I had the posts removed, and removed again,

and they turn up somewhere straight away.

Basically, my reputation will be destroyed and I'll be branded as a bad person

for the rest of my life.

Every day, I say to myself that I am not that kind of person.

I'm better than that. That I'm good.

But I know I don't have the energy to keep going.

So that, in the end,

I'll end up like Mr. Ko.

Yes, I'm afraid of them.

Just by seeing Ye-ri with a phone in her hand terrifies me.

I once had a fiancée.

She was a teacher, like you.

And then, two years ago…

she was killed at the school.

Murdered by a student.

Look this way. Perfect! The bride looks amazing.

- And the groom, please look this way. - Which way?

At the bride.

- Like this? - That's it!

Perfect! Great! Now smile and hold her hand.

Ga-yun.

I'm here, Ga-yun.

Thank you for waiting for me.

You see, Ms. Jung, after what happened to Mr. Ko,

I know only too well what you're feeling.

That feeling of fear.

And that's precisely why I'm here.

I'm not here for your sake at all.

I'm here for them.

I'm here for the children.

One other thing.

Why do you think the Bureau was sent here?

Because of what happened to Mr. Ko, I presume.

No. In fact, we are here because of you.

We received messages from several students,

asking us to come help you.

Students from here.

Students from your very own homeroom class.

REPORTS RELATED TO SOYEON GIRLS' HIGH

My name is Park Su-jin and I'm a student at Soyeon Girls' High School,

Class 4, third year.

I was so heartbroken and angry to see malicious rumors and fake posts

about our homeroom teacher continuing to spread online

that I decided to write this letter.

that Ms. Jung refused to teach students,

created chaos throughout the school.

But it is just not true. It's a lie.

to go back to teaching

with the same enthusiasm and passion that she had before.

Please protect Ms. Jung's honor and her rights. We're begging you.

and protect teachers like Ms. Jung.

Teachers who work tirelessly to protect and support their students.

Please help them, and ensure that they are never treated like this again.

Please. I'm begging you.

Two professional climbers and five civilians.

The probability that all seven climb…

And the probability that the five civilians climb in one straight line is…

in the same mischievous behavior,

but I don't think they all felt the same way.

who, just like you, are afraid of Ye-ri.

Many may have thought, "If Ms. Jung can't do anything, what can I possibly do?"

They held this in their hearts as they quietly kept to themselves.

TO US, SHE IS A GOOD TEACHER

PLEASE HELP US

WE WANT TO SEE HER TEACH WITH A SMILE

The children are the real victims here.

And the only person who can help save these children

is you, Ms. Jung.

When my team and the Bureau get involved,

when we try to help out in the school, these are temporary measures.

But you know, in the end,

it's the teachers who make a real difference.

All the same,

we'll make sure that no other teachers are mistreated at school.

That's the mission of the ERPB.

If I may say so, Miss…

don't give up on being a teacher just yet.

Think it over, please.

Did you see this guy's picture?

Hey! Teacher's here! Back in your seats.

Okay.

Miss? Did you think about doing our live stream?

Everyone in our class has agreed to participate.

I posted a teaser on my social media and everyone reacted really positively.

Influencers too.

So, what do you think?

Will you do it with us?

I'm sorry.

I won't be doing your live stream.

Mm. Okay, it's time to start class.

What page were we on, please?

Oh, page 38, Miss.

Mm.

38, 39.

Han Ye-ri.

Come up to the blackboard. Try to solve this problem.

Han Ye-ri,

did you hear me?

I am speaking to you, Ye-ri.

Come solve the problem.

Who do you think you are?

It's not, "Who do you think you are?" It's, "Yes, Ma'am."

-I am your teacher. -I don't care.

-Do it now. -I don't want to do it.

-You will do as you're told. -Han Ye-ri.

Miss.

This is my class. Please.

- Come with me. - Ow!

What the fuck?!

What the hell?!

Solve it.

I won't do it.

Then hold out your hands.

What are you gonna do?

Is this really what you wanna do?

Solve it.

-I told you. I'm not doing it. -Class will not be dismissed until you do.

I said I won't do it!

Fuck.

Hold out your hands. Palms facing up.

If you don't flatten them out,

it's just gonna hurt more.

I apologize.

I should never have

let this happen to you.

So from now on,

I'll make things right.

When I ask you a question,

I will make sure that you answer.

I will make sure you listen.

If you answer back, if you are insolent,

if you behave badly,

I will punish you every time.

If it doesn't work, I'll do it again.

I want you to know I'm not doing this for me.

I'm doing this for all of you.

It is our responsibility,

as teachers, to try to guide our students in what we see as the best direction.

Sit down!

I haven't said class is over.

Sit down.

Solve it.

We will all stay in class until you solve it.

Whoo!

Jung Seon-yeong! Great job!

Whoa!

Jung Seon-yeong is amazing!

Whoo!

I'll fucking teach you a lesson.

I am exposing the identity of a new abuser.

She's a math teacher at Soyeon High School.

Fuck! I'm gonna kill you.

Just you wait and see. I'll kill every last one of you.

I'm gonna post this everywhere, you bitch.

How do you manage to look so pretty even when you cry? Huh, Han Ye-ri?

No, please stop!

THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED AT THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUEST

- Good job, Deputy Bong. - Hm.

Thanks. So does that mean that… I can go home now?

-No! We're having a welcome party for me. -Huh?

That means no.

You did a good job.

Minister Choi, sir?

EXPOSING A MURDERER!

REVEALING HAN YE-RI'S HOUSE

THE TEEN BEHIND TEACHER'S DEATH

I haven't been able to reach Ye-rI.

Can you please check in on her? I'm a little worried.

HAN YE-RI

Hello. Who is it?

Hey! Hello. Ye-ri!

How… how come you're not picking up, huh?

Ye-ri, are you okay?

Come inside for a second. Just for a moment.

Have you eaten yet?

Ye-ri?

It would have been better if it was you and not Mr. Ko.

What?

It's all your fault that Mr. Ko killed himself.

No one listens to me anymore. And no one believes me!

Do you wanna know why? Why I fought so hard to get where I am?

Have you ever thought about why I did it? Huh?

All you teachers are hypocrites.

Ye-ri.

Fuck.

Fine. If that's what everyone wants.

I may as well die.

But first…

do it.

Die!

Ye-ri. Please, put that down. It's dangerous. Ye-ri.

- You're gonna die! - Ye-ri!

Ye-ri.

Please, stop.

Look! Somebody fell on that car!

They fell from the balcony!

Mom, hurry! Mom! Come quickly! Someone fell from the balcony!

Inspector.

The person who fell from the balcony

told me to write "patience" on the palm of my hand if I felt the urge to kill.

"Write it three times." I'm asking you to put that knife down.

Oh! Uh, oh, here, take this!

Take it.

Now I've written it twice.

No!

Fuck you!

Looks like you're gonna die.

Wait! Han-rim, don't!

Damn you!

Your hand!

Han Ye-ri,

I won't kill you, don't worry.

I want you to think long and hard about what you've done.

Were you afraid of dying?

Live long.

Live long, but repent.

No. No!

Han-rim, are you okay?

No, no! You're bleeding.

Let go of the knife.

Oh my God!

Inspector! Inspector! Are you okay, Inspector?

-Inspector! Are you okay? Are you okay? -Say something!

Oh my God! A phone! Call someone! Call an ambulance!

- Hey, hey, hey, chill out, okay? - What?

It's time to get up. Come on.

That's kids stuff! You've fallen from much higher during training.

Whoa! Whoa!

That's why it didn't hurt.

Sir, are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine, I'm fine.

Have you gone insane? What's the matter with you?

You could've died from that.

I promised that I'd protect you.

Oh!

- Look! Look, he's bleeding! - It's nothing.

- It's blood! - What's up with him?

- He must be scared of blood. - Okay.

There's more blood! It's pouring! What do we do?

- I'm okay. My sweat is naturally red. - Are you okay, Bong?

Want me to call an ambulance?

- Deputy? - I'm the one who's bleeding.

- Wake up! - Would you have a stapler?

- A stapler? For what? - Deputy Bong!

MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

CYBER VIOLATIONS OF EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS

cases of educational rights violations

have intensified over recent times.

The latest case was at Soyeon Girls' High School.

This investigation involved a case of cyberbullying.

A teacher's reputation was damaged.

Lies were fabricated and personal information was leaked.

In view of these events,

the ERPB has decided to suspend all accounts found to be trolling teachers.

We will investigate and severely punish all violations of teachers' rights

in school and online.

How was this possible?

This happened to the daughter of a congressman

and nobody here even knew about this?

The family had requested that it remain private and confidential.

You know as much as we did.

Why do you think he did that?

I think he knew what he was doing.

I think he knew his daughter's death would become a political issue,

and that would have compromised the Bureau.

From the day his daughter died, the only thing on his mind was creating the ERPB.

You're saying he planned this from the beginning?

I'm saying he's a very smart politician.

We've severely underestimated our colleague.

What do you think we should do?

Tell the press I'd like to see them.

I'M MY DAD'S GIRL EDUCATIONAL RIGHTS RILE ME

WANT TO SIT IN A RELATED MEETING?

- IS THIS A PRIVILEGE? - IT'S A DUTY

CUP NOODLES AGAIN?

IT'S "INSTANT HEALTH FOOD"

DAD, HAVE A PROPER MEAL

THEN HAVE A MEAL WITH ME. IT'S ON ME

SATURDAY, NOV 30, 2024 MY LOVING DAUGHTER, I MISS YOU

SUNDAY DEC 8, 2024 I'M SORRY, GA-YUN

TUESDAY, DEC 31, 2024 I WILL DO MY BEST

I think you need to see this.

I'm sending you a link.

The reason behind the creation of the ERPB

was the death of a young teacher two years ago.

The teacher, as we learned, was the daughter of Minister of Education

and the founder of ERPB, Choi Gang-seok.

We also learned that the teacher was the fiancée of Inspector Na Hwa-jin.

The cases investigated by the Bureau, Ryu Jun-hyeong of Daehan High,

the class at Guun High-Tech School,

and even the recent Soyeon Girls' High School,

they are all students.

Are we to believe

there is no correlation between these cases and the murdered teacher?

These people are not guided by good faith and public service.

Their actions are motivated

by revenge and a thirst for retribution.

This is a personal vendetta.
